Environmental protection in China has become a trend truck

In January, China issued new diesel emissions standards, in order to improve air quality. Truck manufacturers must act now to provide more environmentally friendly models. KION Baoli brand companies have long been ready.

Every day more than 50 million non-road diesel machinery in China's economic construction and bustle. Each year, will be about 200 million new non-road diesel machinery to join the team. New machine, almost about one-tenth, or 16 million units is the internal combustion forklifts. Non-road diesel machinery annual consumption of China's annual consumption of more than 100 million tons of diesel to 20% of the total emissions of more than 2 million tons of nitrogen oxides.

To further control of non-road diesel machinery emissions, in January 2016, China's environmental protection department issued a public notice, the provisions from April 1, 2016, all manufacturing, importation and sale of non-road mobile machinery shall not be fitted with non-compliance with the "non diesel (agricultural machinery) road standards "required by the third stage. Since December 1 this year, all manufacturing, import and sale of agricultural machinery can not be fitted with a diesel engine does not meet the new standard.

Introduction of new standards of Chinese forklift manufacturers - whether domestic or foreign - would mean starting from April 1 this year, their production, import and sales of internal combustion forklifts, without exception, must comply with the new emission standards ( basically IIIA emission limits and European emission standards consistent) diesel engine. Secretary-General of China Association of Engineering Machinery Industrial Vehicle Industry Association Zhang Jie, the move is imperative. "Implementation of a new standard to help improve air quality, and secondly, but also conducive to the elimination of old models, to achieve forklift upgrade. With high efficiency, low emission, environmentally friendly and more new models to meet customer demand has become the industry trend. "Zhang Jie said.

It requires quick reaction

More than three months after the formal implementation of the new standards, the industry's truck manufacturers are the results of the new standards different. Some truck manufacturers and engine manufacturers do not keep up with the speed of the reaction, the implementation of policies and standards exist to understand the error, thus the sales of forklift manufacturing enterprises affected. While some truck manufacturers and engine manufacturers to promote its new standards already in action during the second five countries, together with research and development and production of products for the new standard.

Such as KION Group in cooperation between China Jingjiang Baoli brands and Chinese engine maker Weichai Power has already borne fruit. Weichai several years ago had reserves to meet the new emission standards technology. As the first in the industry to start the project country, three engines, one of the best prepared forklift OEMs, Baoli in early 2015 began a new standard of technical preparations. When the formal implementation of the new standards to all internal combustion forklifts Baoli in China sales, from 1.5 tons to 10 tons, we have to meet the new emission standards. Rapid response Baoli and Weichai rainy day, so Baoli successfully completed the switch from country to country, three two engines.

High demands for service

This hard-won achievements. Bao Li, general manager Wang Guihai very clear his team in the process of reaching this result in what overcame challenges. "To replac the truck engine sounds difficult, in fact, the complexity of the transplant is like giving a new heart." He explained, "ranging from technology development to testing, to mass production, sale, research and development to the entire process many aspects of testing, quality, production, logistics and sales, including. "in addition, taking into account the different conditions of the customer, providing customers Baoli using different fuel injection system of an engine Baoli country, three products to meet different Customer demand. The new engine technology to allow customers to greatly benefit their complex injection system and maintenance services also put forward higher requirements. "only emphasizes the importance of the new engine to the customer superiority and maintenance is clearly not enough, also need to be trained dealers. More importantly, the market and customer feedback, to be very timely and effective treatment." Wang Guihai says. Baoli adequate preparation and effort to win the favor of the market. Since April began selling the third year of the truck to the end of July, Baoli has received nearly 2,000 orders.

Further tightening of emission standards

Market and customer country, three Baoli forklift praise proved Baoli hit a victory. However, this is just the beginning. According to the introduction of the Secretary-General Zhang Jie, China non-road machinery diesel engine emission standards more stringent, and is expected by the end of 2018 to implement the non-road machinery emission standard four countries. In some places, such as Beijing and Shenzhen even made higher than the national standards. In addition, in line with higher emission standards due to the use of internal combustion forklifts new engine and cause costs to rise, narrowing the price gap between the internal combustion forklifts and electric forklifts for.

"These will change the conventional internal combustion forklift-based market structure, the proportion of the entire electric forklifts powered industrial vehicle sales has increased." Zhang Jie explained, "Data from the first half of 2016, the electric truck market share in China over 28% of our forecast that by 2020, this proportion will reach 40% "for the impact of national policies and trends to bring the material handling industry, she suggested:".. forklift production enterprises, especially in internal combustion forklifts oriented manufacturing enterprises should pay attention to these trends changes, make timely adjustments. "

Currently internal combustion forklifts in China market sales accounted for more than 85% of the Baoli has been in the forefront of these trends, in the consolidation of internal combustion forklifts advantage, it is also the layout of electric forklifts. Baoli reforms in research and development, together with the engine manufacturer jointly developed meet higher emission standards. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the cost burden on the customer, to take measures from the material, internal processes and reduce operational costs of the new country, three forklifts.

Tram number will grow

In addition, R & D direction Baoli adjustment, increased the proportion of tram cars and storage R & D personnel, to expand the tram car and storage product lines. To this end, Baoli also set up a special electric forklift trucks and warehouse forklift sales team, in close cooperation with distributors, increased tram and car warehouse sales efforts. Is growing in this team has a clear goal: in the next three years, will electric Baoli forklift trucks and warehouse forklift sales share in China increased to 25%. Wang Guihai stressed: "National policies and industry trends are changing, but Baoli always plan ahead, focusing on our customers needs, is committed to providing customers with more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products."
